She failed to save John McCain from presidential election doom, but Sarah Palin, the Republican senator’s controversial running mate, may yet emerge as the saviour of the American publishing industry. Literary agents are queueing up to sign her to a book deal that could earn her up to $7m.
With Barack Obama’s election victory certain to generate dozens of volumes from politicians, strategists and journalists – and with another shelfload of memoirs expected from members of President George W Bush’s administration – Palin’s personal account of her tumultuous introduction to national politics is widely regarded as the book most likely to repay a multi-million-dollar advance.
“She’s poised to make a ton of money,” said Howard Rubenstein, New York’s best-known public relations adviser.
“Every publisher and a lot of literary agents have been going after her,” added Jeff Klein of Folio Literary management.

McCain chose Palin (good) and then assign “handlers” that sabotaged Palin (bad, very very bad).
Blaming Palin for McNasty’s loss is like crediting Biden for The One’s victory.
Good for her! I hope it’s a best-seller and she becomes a multi-millionaire many times over.
This is great news... And If they send her a nice check in before the end of 08, she can take advantage of the Bush tax cuts!
“She’s poised to make a ton of money,”
Good on her, and I’ll go out on a limb and predict her favorite charities will receive increased contributions from her as well.
Maybe Bill Ayers will ghost-write a book for her, too.
WTH? She failed to save John McCain? Since when is it the VP candidate’s job to save the President nominee?
Sorry, but he was doomed to fail the second he “suspended his campaign” to do nothing about the bail out travesty.
Palin succeeded beyond the MSM’s wildest nightmares. That’s why she’s worth a $7 million dollar book deal!
Be honest I buy the book
Be honest I buy the book
>Had they just let her alone, no one would feel very strongly about her.<
I strongly admire the lady simply because of the impression she left with me when the teleprompter went down and I listened to her speak for 25 minutes using her own brain. Then add to that that she was very relaxed and comfortable speaking to the audience while she explained her position. You have no idea how much I think America needs her or someone like her at the helm.
Camille trashes her own side better than anyone. I love this lady.
She needs to get her story out there, not only because she deserves her place in the sun,but the way she was vilified so horribly in the press and otherwise needs to be put out there,over and over. It was just awful and no one should forget it,and if it’s an embarrassment to the media,so be it.Also,she’s got such a huge following that this can only reinforce her star status and keep her in the public arena,and keep people talking,until she graces us with her wonderful presence again!
I’m ticking off the days until she comes back again....Go Sarah Go!
I have never bought a politician’s book. But I’ll buy Sarah’s.
In the words of my favorite pitbull....”You betcha!” :)
And..., an upgrade to "glass-paneled" Cessna 182 on floats for the "First Dude"!!!
I’ll buy that book.
And I bet that she’ll write it herself.
She was never open to running for Steven's seat. She said so on TV last week that she would never do that. She was elected Governor and she would not appoint herself or a member of her family(I believe she was referring to Todd)to the senate seat if Stevens won the election but was tossed out, she would finish her term and run for the next term(for Governor). She never had any intention of taking that seat and doesn't want it. Which speaks well of her.
Paglia is one of those extremely rare honest liberals.
And she’s not too old to run again.
